In 1972, a plane carrying a Uruguayan rugby team crashed high in the Andes Mountains, leaving its passengers isolated in one of the harshest environments on Earth. 72 DAYS tells the powerful true story of survival, resilience, and human decision-making under unimaginable conditions.
Drawing on historical records and survivor accounts, this book explores how ordinary people faced extreme cold, hunger, and uncertainty—and how teamwork, hope, and moral courage helped some of them endure for over two months in the mountains. Beyond the physical struggle, the story raises profound questions about leadership, faith, ethics, and what it truly means to survive.
Written with care and sensitivity, 72 DAYS is not just a story about tragedy, but about the strength of the human spirit when pushed to its limits.
